Who knew? Apparrently, there is a rabid audience of Europeans for Rodeo and Country Music, and thanks to my friend Steve Carter ("You're going to like me a lot more after this") I'm headed to the south of France to participate. It's called Equiblues, and it runs from August 15th-19th. I'll be part of The Austin Country All-Stars, the brainchild of the aforementioned Mr. Carter, who sold the promoter on the concept of a band that faithfully performs vintage #1 country hits. The band includes me, Steve, Leeann Atherton, Cam King, Richard White and Emerson Wells-Barrett.
While there, I'll also play sets with Amanda Cevallos, Brennen Leigh, and Jim Lauderdale. Sounds like fun? I'll say!
Come see me when I get back, and I'll tell you all about it.
